The Handbuilt Show is just days away and the guys and gals from the American Motordrome Wall of Death are getting ready to wow the crowd again. Last year, we caught up with Mikey Johnson, Charlie Ransom and Wahl E Walker for a little one-on-one interview about the history of the 15 foot wall and how they got the itch to join in on the death defying 3 g's of pressure.

The Handbuilt Show wouldn't be the Handbuilt Show without the artistic wizardry of Jeremy Lacy and Downshift Studios.

We are just weeks away from this years show in Austin, TX and we can't wait to see what he has in store for us. We caught up with him last year to ask him how motorcycles positively influence his life and his work, and how he combines his passion for sketching and motorcycles together.

In today's moto culture, you would be hard pressed to find a motorcyclist in America who has not heard of Alicia 'Motolady' Elfving. Since the 2011 establishment of her website themotolady.com, Alicia has combined her love for motorcycling with her passion for marketing as a means of encouraging female riders (males too) into the sport and to keep them there.

You will see her passion for motorcycles and the motorcycle culture exuded in her detailed and energetic blogs featuring women who ride, gear and fashion reviews, news in the industry, motorcycles as art, and more. In addition to being a two-wheeled junkie, she is also a writer, photographer, artist, and she makes bad-ass leather goods and jewelry.

Alicia has truly made an impact in the motorcycle community by helping change stereotypes for female riders and by providing them with resources to be better informed and safer riders. We at Motorcycle Missions can say we are a few of many positively influenced by her passion. Thanks Alicia!
